    Throttle tension adjustment.

    My throttle is slipping when running and I don't see an adjustment to tighten it down. Does anyone know if this the type that is under the console? I think the part # is 883711a12 if that helps. It's a 2012 model with silver sides and black strip down the middle with the merc logo on the bottom...

    scotch brite pads for botton of toon

    I'm trolling thru the web about these pads and they make a lot of different kinds. Has anyone tried them with the boat in the water? I'm going to try them and see if they do a better job than the scrub brushes. Scrub brushes do a pretty good job but they also miss a lot of small stuff.

    first time out this year

    Wow!, it was slow. The grunge on the bottom from sitting at the well all winter sure made it dirty. We lost 400rpm's and 6 to 7 mph. I went and ordered a new 12" scrub brush with stiffer bristles to clean the bottom when the water warms up. I wish someone would invent something that would make...

    boat performance & prop changes

    Well I'll try to keep this short. Last year we bought a 2012 Berkshire 230cl triton with the Merc 150 4stroke motor. The 1st motor blew a 3 inch hole in the block as the dealer was testing it out before we ever got it. Mercury rushed another motor and I had a problem with the throttle linkage...

    how much discount on Bennington

    I am curious as to how much of a discount you got on your Bennington? I went to the Bennington forum and they claim around 22% as an average off of MSRP. Is that factual? I don't care what other mfg's are giving, just Bennington.

    pontoon prices

    We have a 2012 Berkshire and I like to see what other boats are running. Is it just me or have they taken a big jump in price. It seems like the mid line boats with tritoon and 150hp engines are in the upper 30's and lower 40's. Benningtons are starting in the 40's and that's just for the frame...

    cavitation plate on larger motors

    When you run your boat at a faster speed can you see your cavitation plate? I'm not sure how far under the water it should be. Mercury's web site claims that the higher your motor the faster the boat will go, you just need to make sure that it's not to high. I don't see mine when I'm running my...

    motor to low?

    I have the Mercury 150hp 4 stroke on our 23ft Berkshire tritoon and wonder if it's set to low. The reason being that the dealer has tried 4 different props and we get the exact same thing everytime, 5,200 rpm's at 33 mph exactly. At present I have the Enertia 15 1/8 x 14 ptop on and that is...

    mooring cover stolen

    Just before Christmas someone stole my mooring cover, it was for my 23ft Berkshire, they also took the poles. Talk about being pissed off. I have Boat US insurance and boy do they ever want documentation. I honestly don't think I will ever go with them again. They are still doing the paper work...

    lifting strakes

    For those of you who have lifting strakes, do you notice the front end of the boat rise up at a certain speed when the strakes kick in or is it so gradual that you don't notice it?
